First one that PC case shipped was the red cherry, great price too compared to what the usual cost is over here. Not sure if that is expensive for you guys (US)


noone sells these boards, and the aussie sites don't ship international


ya, after checking like 5 different taiwan websites, and aussie websites, noone ships internationally without like a $50 increase in price, bleh hopefully elitekeyboards will be smart enough to sell reds, but reds aren't popular in the states


:O I've had the opportunity to to try the cherry reds and they are fantastic. softer blacks is what i would describe them with. however they are usually so much more expensive than brown, blues and blacks, thats why i ended up buying a brown instead ;P

Red switches are super expensive on Filco boards. They're around the same price as a Realforce. ;_;

Wow that sucks that reds don't seem to be popular. For once AUS has something US doesn't that's not ridiculously priced hehe

The Filco w/ cherry mx reds is way overpriced, i think the 10keyless is like $250 on ebay which is so stupid.

you can get a fc500r full sized for $115 us, but the only thing is you have to find a supplier that will be kind enough to actually ship the product :S, I have been talking to a AUS and TW supplier in to letting me buy the board and paying the extra for shipping costs, if you can get those leopolds in the US, you can make like a $50 profit from each board.

If you (or anyone) ever find a good store to buy the Leopold fc500r fullsize that ship in Canada let me know plz! I'm trying to decide between a Leopold and a Filco but the thing is, so far I can only find Leopold in tenkeyless version and I can find the Filco fullsize but the price is around 160$ shipping included. If I could pay less for a Leopold fullsize I would be happy

I actually quite like my Leopold tenkeyless. As for the differences between Leopolds and Filcos, as far as I can tell it's only that Filcos have better stabilizers (ie, supports to distribute force across a large key [eg the spacebar]) while Leopolds have more durable caps.

I can't really attest as the only time I've used a Filco was a few years ago at my friend's place, and I'm not even sure what switches it had. Regardless, I recommend Leopold because I've had my brown tenkeyless for a while and I love it.

Also, if you're a DIY type person you can buy a pair of brown and blue keyboards, then swap all the brown's springs out for the blue's and now you've got a Ghetto Red board (but it still runs you about $250 because you need 2 keyboards and S&H).
